About Judinstrom Beer Ølemballage

Judinstrom Beer er et emballagedesign skabt til et mikrobryggeri i Montreal, Canada. Emballagen anvender en standard 473 ml dåse af aluminium med en etiket på 5 gange 8 tommer trykt ved hjælp af fleksografi. Skandinaviske motiver præsenteres i en moderne fortolkning gennem flade grafiske illustrationer og en skrifttype med lige linjer og vinkler. Farvepaletten kombinerer dyb blå, grå nuancer og hvid. Det minimalistiske layout sikrer, at mærkenavn, øltype og alkoholindhold forbliver læsbare, mens en fælles visuel kerne gør det muligt at tilføje flere ølstile til sortimentet.

Design Challenge
Working on creating a craft beer brand in a modern Scandinavian style requires careful planning and attention to detail to achieve the desired result. It is necessary to find the right balance between modern design and traditional Scandinavian motifs so that the packaging looks contemporary while still maintaining a connection to the region's cultural heritage. Defining a color palette that conveys characteristic traits of the Scandinavian style, such as coldness and restraint, can be challenging. It is important to coordinate graphic elements with text on the packaging in a way that ensures information is readable and does not detract from the overall visual impression.
Research
The design incorporates deep blue, shades of gray, and white for contrast and highlighting details. This palette creates an atmosphere of coldness and resilience, characteristic of Scandinavia. Illustrations in a flat graphic style are used on the packaging, creating a minimalist design. A font with straight lines and angles is chosen to complement the graphic elements of the packaging. Additionally, information about the brand, beer type, alcohol content, etc., is placed on the packaging in a way that is readable and does not disrupt the overall design.
Inspiration
The Judinstrom brand was created from scratch to enter the Canadian beer market and elevate the status of a local brewery from Montreal. It also sought to cultivate a specific beer consumption culture and introduce consumers to different styles of the beverage. The task included creating a logo, visual elements, and packaging design for craft beer using Scandinavian motifs but in a modern interpretation.
Project Duration
The project started in June 2023 in Montreal, QC Canada and Finished in September 2023
Operation Flow
Over time, 6 more beer styles will be added to the lineup. Therefore, a minimalist design with a unified core was created, which, through changes in details and placement of associative items, will emphasize and intuitively distinguish each beer flavor. The logo serves as the visual foundation for the entire beer lineup, ensuring unity and brand recognition. The design is simple and clean to avoid distracting consumers from the main idea and to create a cohesive look for the beer lineup.
